    I find all the other fighters to be massive compared to Dirrell especially Abraham. I wonder if Dirrell rehydrates a lot on fight night.

    Could be. Dirrell is obviously quite tall, but he seems light and poorly grounded when in action. No true mass or core strength.

    all in the builds of these guys. abraham has a huge upper body and is the shortest. 5 more inches and you have a significantly skinnier looking guy. Supposedly blacks have denser bones and muscle mass which makes some look skinnier. from boxrec he is the tallest as well.

    yeah im guessing its his height. Was wondering if he could make middleweight but im guessing he would look like an extra from "Schindlers List"

    Sitting down on your punches is something that can be taught, so it's possible that he'll learn to throw with more power. He did it to an extent in the latter half of the Froch fight. But it also takes a certain amount of commitment and a willingness to perhaps get hit in the process, and Dirrell may not have the mentality to do that, especially not after 20 pro fights.

    :rofl Please. And neither are Pacquiao's... :cool: You mistake his tremendous agility and athleticism for something else. Andre Dirrell has very little core and leg strength. "His feet are never set" my ass. How is that a supposed Pacquiao fan, of all people, thinks that punching power comes from having "big shoulders and a big back?"
